HD video over wireless...

My solution is a PC with tons of disk space, 3 DVB-T tuners and the very free media software from

The solution there is to play out to Hauppauge Media Extenders and they work just fine but mine are wired.

You're asking a lot to stream HD content wireless, you're going to need a maxium rate data connection and even then a following wind. Wireless is great for mobility and unless your TV keeps moving around the house, i'd recommend wires.

On the other hand, if you've got all the bits already, try it, it might work for you.

Just scanned over your references and, wow, that is extremely cool. Downloaded GBPVR and will play with it later. Basically, just add the tuners and capture hardware on your PC at your convienence? Much more flexible than the ready-made boxes..

Hauppauge MediaMVP -- only needed to look at for a few seconds before deciding that I want one! One of the first things that came to mind was that it is small enough to fit into a laptop bag. Use the laptop's wireless to stream stuff from home, away from home. Pretty cool... Hmm. I have a WAP, small enough to also travel with, that can function as a client and also has a built-in DHCP server. I wonder if, away from home, the MediaMVP could also be plugged into this WAP and you could point it towards your home PC across the internet.

Yeah, after looking at the stuff you pointed out, along with some other things, I think I'm going to not worry about "HD" for now. Chasing "HD" network integration would be very $$$ and have to wonder if it would be really worth it for as little content there is right now. Plus, I'm reading that even the "HD stuff" is having all sorts of problems meshing into computer networks. Give it a few years for it all to come together, and have more content.

LOL, yeah, the more "wireless" stuff you have the more "wires" you seem to accumulate. I'll see how well the MediaMVP works over the air, but if need be will just run CAT5 for it. Imagine down the road, wireless probably wouldn't work well for HD, so will probably be running a Giga-ethernet for it anyway...

Thanks for the pointed direction! Going to read a bit more on the MediaMVP, along with similiar products, and probably will have something like that by next week! A measly $100 is definetly do-able.

Cheers!

Yep, up to 8 tuners.

No need, you either use Orb

- free) or the just about finished webstreamer add on to gbpvr.

The MVP runs a variation of VNC and displays the same interface as the normal gbpvr and whatever skin you want. It's the most WIFE 1.0 friendly product I have ever bought. I now have 3 :)

Come over to the gbpvr forums for help.

Works with Orb too? Very cool! I've used Orb in the past with PDA's.

LOL, three MVP's or three wives? :^)

Yep, already been 'lurking' there. I found a local retailer that has a couple in stock. Going to pick one up tonight or tomorrow after work.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for pointing out that MVP. I just picked one up earlier today and having fun with it. Definetly see picking up at least one more down the road for another TV.

Use it with gbpvr, it rocks then. The Hauppauge interface is dire by comparison.

BTW, because this is a wireless thread, are you using the wireless MVP? Working ok?

David.
